Quinn, national commander of the American Legion, with copious handwritten corrections by President Coolidge. In part (Coolidge's handwritten changes in italics): "I welcome the frank statement of your views on the bonus question contained in your telegram. My own views upon this subject were so fully stated in my New York address that I need not restate them other than to say they represent my mature conviction. No difference of opinion as to the procedure which would ultimately bring to the service men the largest and most substantial advantages should involve any doubt as to the patriotic purpose of either you or me and I shall always be delighted to see you and to confer with you. Please accept the expression of my kindest regards." In fine condition.
